Dan Lindley is willing to take pictures of tombstones in the cemeteries to which he has
made a contribution to the PAGenWeb Archives. Most of the
Cemeteries to which he has access are in Northern Chester County,
Pennsylvania. If you are unsure of your cemeteries location, send the
request to be considered. Please provide as much of the following
information as possible. People have a tendency to give only the
information they ‘think’ he needs. He doesn’t like to guess or figure
out all the details if he doesn’t have to. The more information he gets,
the easier the task. Please remember- he volunteers to do this
photography.

And he hates “shot gun blast” requests- “Give me all the Jones’s in
the ABC Cemetery.” If he happens to run across other graves in your
cemetery with the same surname(s) as your photo request, he will include
them in the contribution to the page. Send an email and reply in the
form of a list- not a narrative.

Full Name- First, Middle and Last (really essential) a. Add
relationship (wife, husband. Brother, sister,...) to another if
pertinent

Date of Birth (not essential, but nice to have)

Date of Death (really essential Month/Day/Year) a. Most cemeteries
have burials in chronological order, so just a year makes the search
more arduous, just a month and year makes it a little less arduous,
Month Day and Year gets him out into the field to take the picture.

Do you know which cemetery the burial is in?

No? Who knows if he’ll find them, but you can try.

Wow, do you know the plot number?

What funeral Home provided the services or burial? a. This can
tell what cemetery the burial is in if you don’t know. But then that
takes some research on Dan’s part and delays the process.

Do you have an obituary, and can you provide it in the email?
a. If you send him the obituary Cyndie is really good about including
that with the picture that he sends back.

Last known address is some times helpful if you don’t know the
cemetery. (City and State is sufficient) exact address is a plus.

When he finds and photographs your stone, he will send it to Cyndie
and send you an email telling you to look for it. Be patient! Then you
can download it and share it with your family- or direct them to the web
site.
